BookStudyGuidelines


 * General Guidelines for the Book Study:**


 * Each study group must consist of at least three people.** We have more than a dozen teachers interested in reading __Dream Class__, so we can create sub groups with minimum three teachers to accommodate different schedules/needs if we need to.

Study groups can read/meet/work during the school day in PLT any day __except__ Wednesday.
 * Location and Time:** Study groups can meet before/after school, or both.


 * Duration:** In order to earn credit, our study group must meet at least **five times over the course of three months**.


 * Link with PDP Goals:** Ideally our learning and applying new information from __Dream Class__ (and supplemental materials) should compliment our Individual Professional Development Plans.

-lesson plan development incorporating new learning -review of related literature -peer observation/discussion of new techniques being implemented -follow-up discussions
 * Informal Action Research Project:** Does the book inspire you? Consider a small action research project to measure your growth/your student's growth! Activities related to the book can include, but are not limited to:

 * Responsibilities**
